24 Jen Brinkman

Jen Brinkman is the Operations Manager of Goodman Games, but she is also so much more than that. Host of the award-winning Spellburn podcast, co-creator of the Sanctum-Securum podcast and the legendary Brinkmanicon, the spiritual mother of the DCC RPG community, Jen is an inspiration to us all.

I met Jen in 2014 when I went to Gen Con for the first time and I was immediately welcomed by the DCC RPG community. The kindness and warmth from the community and especially from her was remarkable. And it's like this for everyone. The Order of Sheena is there to prover that, and Jen talks a bit about this on the episode.

We also talk about her journey in the RPG space, how she doesn't see herself as weird (but I think I convinced her), how she drinks quite a bit of coffee, how balance is so important in life, how we need to remind ourselves from time to time why we do all this...

We also talked about a lot of RPG related stuff, like the Indie RPG Summit that will happen in January and how she will be a speaker. We talked about the people in the community that inspires us, the people we learned from, GEN CON, and so much more.

We had a great time and we left the conversation with a lot to think about and I hope you all do too!

So listen up and let's get weird with Jen Brinkman!
